I worked the Bowtech Factory Demo Booth at the Illinois Deer & Turkey Expo last weekend, and I can tell you honestly that our biggest miss as a company was not having video cameras rolling to capture the facial experssions of people right after releasing their first shot with a Guardian!! There were many expletives, wows and a couple guys who immediately felt buyer's remorse since they'd just purchased something else -- and yes, one of those who said that had just bought a Drenalin.

Guys around here will tell you I'm a pretty straight shooter, and I'm not into hyping a product just because I'm associated with it. The Guardian will be heavier than the Drenalin, and it may have a touch stiffer draw cycle; it's been a while since I've pulled back the Drenalin, so I can't personally remember.

The Guardian's not our speed burner for sure, but she certainly is no slouch. Where she absolutely shines is the completely dead feel upon the shot and lack of vibration and recoil; that's what was getting the 'oohs' and 'aahs' from our booth.
